i havent seen too many species since my LFS offers quite a bit, but my paleatus cories might be the best looking ones ive seen in a while. albinos look pretty sweet as well as spotteds. if i can get a decent pic of my paleatus ill post it up. you have any luck breeding btw?

Corydora_FREAK · 04-15-2007, 10:20 AM

Actually i am gonna try it very soon! Cant wait! I have bread bronze. Its easy! Plaetus are gorgeous and i have a lot! here check out these pics!

wow thats pretty cool, i think my albino cory is pregnant, im pretty sure its noticable, but shes being too stubborn to get her picture taken =(. when i get a decent pic ill post it up. so how did you breed your bronze cories? or did it just happen?

Corydora_FREAK · 04-15-2007, 11:08 AM

i purposely put them in a heavily planted 10 gallon aquarium with sand bottom. Then i did the whole breeding process. And it worked, it took 2 nights though. But once i got it, it was easy!
btw try hard to get a picture so i can tell for you. try to make it from the side and she is swimming, not in the substrate. i know its hard but you can do it!

This is getting a little off-topic, so I might split this into a new thread...Favorite cories. Don't stop posting! I'm just trying to keep info on topic,and easier to find. One of my favorites is Robustus:

That is an old pic. The females are now 4-1/4". Another favorite has been reclassified as Scleromystax Barbatus:

Chaos553 · 04-15-2007, 06:29 PM

WOW that last one is gorgeous! how much did that cost you?

**Fishnut2** · 04-15-2007, 06:43 PM

I've had it about 3 years, and have been breeding for about 2. When I bought it at 1-1/2", I think it cost about $10 with shipping.

Corydora_FREAK · 04-15-2007, 07:12 PM

wow! robustus are awesome! hey fishnut in case you weren't aware. I PM'ed you so please take a look. Thx buddy.

Chaos553 · 04-15-2007, 09:19 PM

I'd definitely pay that much for a sick looking cory like that. I attempted to get a couple pics of my cories today with another friends camera since it works better than mine and she's going to send me the pics sometime later tonight or tomorrow. I should have some pics up sometime soon.

Corydora_FREAK · 04-15-2007, 10:32 PM

sweet! i love pictures! I love taking them and seeing them!

Chaos553 · 04-16-2007, 09:23 AM

btw anyone else can just post their favorite cories since the discussion has changed. thanks

TREASURECHEST · 04-18-2007, 03:41 PM

my favortie

Giddy012 · 04-18-2007, 05:32 PM

I'm a big fan of Panda Cories, here are a few of mine. They act as though they've never been fed

Giddy012 · 04-18-2007, 05:35 PM

Even more!!!

fishbguy · 04-18-2007, 06:16 PM

how many do you have giddy? i'll post a pic of mine later. he is just a green but i still love him.

nevermind...i saw your sig.

**JustOneMore20** · 04-18-2007, 06:56 PM

Ahh..its so hard to pick a favorite.

I love my Pandas...

But, I also love my Albinos because they are by far the most active cories I own.

I guess I'd have to choose those 2 as my favs although I also have Sodalis cories, Schwartzi, and Trilineatus cories.

Chaos553 · 04-18-2007, 07:28 PM

metaes and greens always look good, my peppereds look good as well but i cant get a decent pic of them. sorry =(
